A 53 year old police inspector was caught at a members-only shopping center, so like Japanese Sam’s Club, stealing women’s clothes. He had about $250 US worth of panties and gloves in his bag when he was caught. No word on whether those were awesome bulk panties or not.

Jiro Oe, an assistant police inspector, said he shops there all the time, but this is the first time he thought “man, I want panties and I don’t want to pay for them.” If you did as we asked and Googled the vending machines, you’ll know panties are big business in Japan. You won’t know why, and neither do we, but you’ll know it.
